Best digital cable to audition?

Hi everyone. I am looking to audition some of the best digital cables out there and would like some recommendations. I've heard Transparent and thought very highly of it. Does anyone have other recommendations?

My current gear is the following...
Ayre V-3 amp
Krell Showcase Pre/Pro
Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures and VCC-1 Center Channel
Cardas Golden Cross I/C and Digital Lightning 15
Alpha Core MI 2 Speaker Cable

Acrolink is the underground gaint killer - just take a look at the new found interest in cable plugs and then take a look at the Acro gear and you can see where these guys are coming from - I have the 5070 and once u handle it, you will be amazed byt the build and attention to detail - great sound too !

I second Rx8man's recommend of KCI's Digital cable. I believe it's called the Silkworm "Pegasus" digital. It's not listed on his website, but contact John directly. He made me a custom one and it is Superb.

Shadowshaman & Rx8man,
How are your KCI digital cables terminated, rca, bnc or xlr?
Thanks!

Sorry Rx8man, I see in your post that you're using locking rca's. I'm currently using a balanced VD Revelation Signature which I believe is an excellent digital cable (replaced the Varidig Sextet) but it is very heavy (1.5m=8lbs) and unwieldy. I've got it bungied to my rack to relieve pressure on the terminations.
